I have two tribal pieces on my left calf that form a cigar band. The piece on the back my friend Ryan designed for me, and the piece that wraps around my friend Carla designed. On my left calf I have a cigar bandCeltic knot that my friend Carla designed and tattooed. On my back I have a Celtic knot, supposedly meaning, "Sacred Journey." But, that's just mumbo jumbo the trinket dealer that sold me the brooch I got the design from says to make pieces more "meaningful." It looks a lot like this:

I've always put a lot of thought into my ink (my friends that drew those can tell you as much from all the revisions I had them do). And I've never wanted a piece of flash off the walls. The last thing I ever wanted was to be walking down the street and see someone with the same tattoo as me.

Also, seeing as I thought I was going to end up a teacher (even when I was younger) or some other professional of some kind, I always chose strategic locations for my ink. Like my legs.

none of mine are exposed either. they all end at the short sleeve shirt line

They don't hurt too bad in most spots. Getting it over bone hurts a bit, and any tender spots (crook of your leg, arm pits, etc.) can be a little painful. Otherwise, it's not too bad. And it's a good kinda hurt.

Tats for men can work like when Marines have them from their service as an example. but it just isn't the same on women. IMO it doesn't look quite right, and takes something away from their delicate, natural beauty
